CT200h

Safety

  PASSENGER SAFETY CABIN

For your safety, the CT200h has a strong passenger cabin. The car’s main pillars are specially reinforced and high tensile steel has been used strategically throughout. Crumple zones front and rear absorb energy in a crash, as does the steering column, which is engineered to collapse on impact.

  EIGHT AIRBAGS

The CT200h is equipped with eight SRS airbags and front seatbelt pretension And force limiters. In a collision, impact intensity sensors activate the dual –stage SRS driver airbag, dual – stage SRS front passenger airbag, and SRS side airbags ( Front seats ) Front seat occupants also benefits from SRS knee airbags, while SRS curtain shield airbags run the full length of the side windows.

  SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION

Particular care has been taken to help protect occupants from side impacts. Strengthened front and impact beams help absorb and side impact beams help absorb and distribute collision energy away from the driver and passengers.

  TWIN – CHAMBER FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG

Crash testes show that the front seat passenger travels further then the driver before making contact with the airbag. In order to help reduce the impact to the front seat passenger, the dual – stage SRS front passenger airbag is a twin – chamber type.

  BODY STRUCTURE TO HELP REDUCE INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS

The hood is optimized to help ensure excellent energy absorption in a collision with a pedestrian. In addition, the windshield wiper area is designed to help reduce pedestrian injuries in an accident.

  ISOFIX SEAT MOUNTINGS
 

Drivers with small children will appreciate the added security of ISOFIX seat mountings, that can be used to quickly dock child seats in a secure fashion.

  WIL ( WHILPLASHI INJURY LESSENING ) CONCEPT FRONT SEATS

The front seat and headrest design helps minimize whiplash-inducing neck motion in rear impact. Reinforced side frames let the torso sink into the seatback, while the forward placement of the headrest effectively supports the head.

  AERODYNAMICS
 

The CT200h has class- leading aerodynamics, thanks to its low hood, long roofline and rear spoiler / diffuser / fins. A look underneath this breakthrough compact reveals more, with aerodynamic engine and fuel fuel tank covers and surfboard – like fins that provide good stability. This attention to detail not only enhance dynamic performance and handling, but also contributes to fuel efficiency and reduces wind noise.

  DOUBLE WISHBONE REAR SUSPENSION

The double wishbone / trailing arm rear suspension, developed specially for the CT200h, delivers outstanding road holding, refined cornering agility and superb Straight – line stability. More complex to manufacture then strut-based alternatives, its compact design contributes to the ample rear luggage space. Performance dampers are also available for the front and rear suspension as an option. These absorb fine vibrations enhance ride comfort and crate an more precise steering feel.

  HILL START ASSIST CONTROL
 

Hill- start Assist Control maintains breaking pressure to help prevent the CT200h from moving backwards when starting on a slope. In addition to reducing driver fatigue, it also helps to minimize wheel spin on slippery inclines.

  EBD ( ELECTRONIC BREAK FORCE DISTRIBUTION ) / BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM

EBD Works with ABS(Anti- lock Break System ) to help ensure optimum brake force is applied to each wheel, according to road conditions. The brake assist system comes into action during emergency braking and increases brake force automatically if required.

  TRC (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM)
 

TRC enhances the ability to grip the road, especially when starting off or accelerating on uneven or slippery surfaces. Corrective measures are applied the moment the risk of wheel spin is detected, to help maintain traction.

VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL)
 

An electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. VSC is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control.
